College tuition is just the beginning—fees, room, board, and other hidden costs can add up fast. Understanding what’s included (and what’s not) is key to budgeting wisely.


Learn how to decode college costs and plan ahead.

More People = Lower Student Loan Rates

Juno is negotiating private student loan deals for families, but the more people who sign up, the better the rates they can secure.


Even if you’re not sure you’ll need a loan, creating a free account now helps strengthen the group’s buying power—so when deals are available this summer, you’ll have access to the best possible rates.


There’s no cost, no credit check, and no commitment—just a simple way to help yourself and other families save.
